Hello Forum

[Neiler]

I'm a new T1 who found this Forum thanks to some great advice from my buddy John. Thanks John...

I can see I'll be getting lots of information here. It's nice to see there is a resource like this were newbie's like me can seek advice from the "pros" ;)

It's been less than two weeks since I found out I'm a member of the privileged Big "D" Community - so I'm full of questions. I'm sure I'll have a few to post as the days and weeks go by.

Welcome to the forums Neiler. Feel free to post away. Also you can search the Archives for tons of great information. Glad to have you here.

I am pretty new to the board too but there is tons of information on it. Hope you like it here!

Welcome -

I'm glad John brought you to us. I was dx'd almost a year ago and I remember how hard it can be at first.

Expect a lot of new things to come your way - some good, and some - not so good.

As you get to know everyone, you'll see how good life can be with the right attitude and supportive friends.

I even think Neil's a Habs fan, right? :tee:

[Neiler]

Wow - Thanks for all the "Welcomes" - much appreciation to everyone...

Kit - I'll check out the Chat for sure - sounds interesting.

Penny - About me >> I'm on Novorapid 3 x/day and Levimir 1 x/day. Dosages are all over the place right now - we're trying to get "levelled". I've been having a lot of hypos so the D Nurse suggested easing off the dosages a little - so far so good. I love exercise (running, weight training, etc) but have not been able to do any of that - until I get straightened out. What a pain! I even went to shovel the driveway the other day (I'm in the Great White North) - and had a hypo afterwards. No good - this time last year I could do that all day long with no issues.

xMenace - Habs Rule!!! How did you know???

Cyborg (or should I call you Locutus?) - JL Pickard Rules!!!

Hotlips - Check out the "New Thread" Button near the top of the page (just under the Menu). That's after you've entered one of the Forums.

Melissa - Karen - Nancy - Linda - Frank - Cin - pinkytricia - "Thanks" for the welcomes to the Forum. I hope to chat some more with everyone as the days go by....

Hi out there. I wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I've been searching the web for info about diabetes and found this board. I've never thought about joining a board before, but after reading through some posts, I'm happy I did. I just want to say thanks to everyone for the support you offer eachother here.

[Neiler]

Hey there playtowin. Glad you found this place. It's new to me as well and I can see it's going to be a great place to frequent....

[Keezheekoni]

Hi and welcome to the board, Neil! Glad to have you here. :D

[buzzborne]

Welcome to the board Neiler :)
Glad that John put you in the right direction of joining here - a lot of great friends and supporters!

Hope to see you around often :)

[MJM]

To all the newbies, Neiler, Hotlips and Playtowin, you are all very welcome. This is a great place to be, with so much support when needed, and lots of good advice for everything from a needle to an anchor, almost. Not forgetting, as Kit said, lots of fun. You'll learn more here in a month than you would in a year anywhere. A lot of the other guys here could possibly qualify for a professorship in diabetes, if it was available, such is their knowledge. I hope you all enjoy.

I found this site called realhealth.tv which has a great video. Even though I am a new member, I think everyone here would really like watching this film b/c it was really nice hearing and watching someone talk about their difficulties and how they cope. I wanted to share this with everyone here, hoping It would help you guys too. Here’s the link RealHealth.tv (http://www.realhealth.tv/site.html?goto=26&vid=27&vo=0)

Keep strong everyone!

Yeah Play, It was a good video. It's how we should all feel and do really. Nice one.

Hey there Rikki - buzzborne - MJM - KritterMom - Thanks for the "welcomes" - much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum (ps. GO HABS!!!)

Welcome to the forum (ps. GO HABS!!!)

Hey AJ21 - Right on! The Habs are not doing too bad. I'm not sure if they'll make a run for the cup this year - but I'm always keeping fingers crossed.

[xMenace]

They'll make a run for the East, maybe even make that final. They won't win the Cup against power houses like Aneheim and San Jose. Boy that felt weird to write ;)
